The Simple Truth Why Alabama Makes it Back to the 2019 College Football Playoffs

By: Larry Burton

My old friend Mal Moore said that Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant once told him that there are many things that can get you to the championship game. Some are talented players, good luck, big plays at the right time and more, but the big one is the schedule. Whether that’s getting the tough teams at home or just catching teams in a down year. Well, Alabama sure has that on their side this season and it’s the biggest reason they’re almost a shoo in to return to the playoffs.

Let’s look at the schedule, make an educated guess at the score of each game and tell why we believe that score could happen…

The path to the playoffs are paved with seven cupcake games, three average teams and just three top tier teams. It’s one of the easiest schedules Alabama will have to play in a long time. The team Alabama has the biggest chance of losing to is Auburn, who is hard to beat at home. Yes harder than Georgia who unlike Auburn, seems to always find a way to lose against the Tide.

Then it’s on to the playoffs. No predictions for that yet.
